    Its a great gaming computer, but you should change a few things.

    -Change the cpu from 8150 to 8350, its worth the upgrade.

    -Drop the motherboard to something alittle cheaper

    -Drop the PSU to a 550-650W (WAY more then enough, even if u play to overclock)

    -Drop the case to a cheaper mid tower. You dont need a full tower unless you are going crazy with water cooling, and you dont need to spend more then $80-100 even if wanting a good case. You can get cases that are more then good enough for $50-80

    With the money u save, upgrade cpu, and you should be able to afford a 60GB SSD.

    EDIT: grimp you are retarded...

    seasonic are pretty much the best psus ever made...

    and seasonic makes the parts for the corsair PSU, aswell as the better end antec, xfx, thermaltake.

    rosewill and coolermaster are 2nd rate psu manufacturers.

    Thats a very good gamer, but i would spend $20 more and get the FX8350 Vishera 4.0Ghz since your already looking to use an 8 core CPU. I would also consider a better brand power supply such as corsair,thermaltake,rosewill, or cooler master, and make sure its at least 80 plus certified (preferably silver or gold)

    depends on what you do with it. if you are into gaming, definitely swap the 8150 for a i7 or maybe even an i5.intel always has better performance for gaming. ram is REALLY FAST. graphics card could be better, but will max out any game you throw at it for now. 680? how this helped
